Data Privacy Policy

Information pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR Data protection declaration for the website of BioArtProducts GmbH

Date of publication 17.08.2020: Update of our privacy policy Following the decision of the European Court of Justice of 16.07.2020, we hereby inform our customers, business partners, employees, website visitors and other communication partners that the use of US service providers such as Amazon, Asana, Facebook, Google, MailChimp, Twitter, TeamViewer, YouTube, etc. and their respective European subsidiaries may be subject to communication, an adequate level of data protection comparable to EU rules cannot be maintained. Under national law, a non-European provider may be compelled by national law to hand over communications data to national security authorities, without the legality of such disclosure being reviewed in independent judicial proceedings at the request of the data subject. Since this finding of the court also applies to companies based and processing in Europe under the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield, as well as the Standard Contractual Clauses and the Binding Corporate Regulations, we must now examine all data transfers to third-party providers on a case-by-case basis and, if necessary, discontinue them or replace them with EU-based providers. To this end, we are currently in discussions with our service providers and the supervisory authorities.
